After the Kolkata incident, there is a demand to strengthen the law
The Bengal government's bill 'Aparajita Mahila and Bal Bill (West Bengal Criminal Law and Amendment) Bill 2024' aims to strengthen the protection of women and children by amending the new provisions related to rape and harrasment offenses. Last month, a female doctor was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The uproar over this incident has not stopped yet. There is a demand to take strict steps for women's safety in the state.
In such a situation, the state government had announced to convene a two-day special session of the Legislative Assembly from Monday. In this special session, the anti-rape bill was introduced by the state Law Minister Moloy Ghatak on Tuesday. At the same time, Leader of Opposition Shubhendu Adhikari said that they want the bill to be made a law and implemented as soon as possible.
Former Principal Sandip Ghosh arrested
In the RG Kar Medical College case of Kolkata, former Principal of RG Kar Medical College Sandip Ghosh has been arrested by the CBI. It is being told that Sandip Ghosh has been arrested in a corruption case. In fact, during the investigation itself, a former officer of the medical college had made serious allegations of corruption against Sandip Ghosh, who was also investigated by the CBI. On August 9, when a doctor was raped and murdered while on duty in the medical college, Sandip Ghosh's role in that case is also under question.
